What is the Amir Khan vs Kell Brook fight purse?

Khan will reportedly earn £5m for the bout, with Brook on £3m.

Bolton star Khan has said he is getting a “lion’s share” of the purse.

What have they said?

Khan: “I don’t hate Kell, this is just another day at the office.

“There is no love between us but I have been living in Kell’s head for the past 10 years, I might even owe him some rent for it.

“But now I have to put him in place.

“After the fight, there will be respect and maybe we can even be friends, he does seem like a nice guy.

“Maybe one day we will have a coffee together and a chit-chat but now is too soon.”

Brook: “He is a drama queen, he has a terrible ego, while I am a down-to-earth kid who wants to make the fight at almost any cost.

“I know what we have had to do to make this fight, bend over backwards, and I know this fight has only happened because of me. 

“If I go a pound over, it costs me £100,000. Every pound is £100,000 so I cannot afford to do it.

“It makes it interesting and exciting but I am preparing for him now and waiting for this to get confirmed has put me in a bad way before.

“I am excited to put everything on hold and get this fight done.”
